3p+(x-2)q=2yp-5q
find the value of x and y

thanks in advance

Vectors... right Which module is this ? whats the topic.
First thing I would say is find that out and then go onto YouTwit and look for a video.

Please don't post here expecting people to do your homework for you.

Might I suggest

3p+(x2)q=2yp5q 3p+(x-2)q=2yp-5q

By equating coefficients we get the following
3=2y  and  x2=5 3 = 2y \ \ and \ \ x-2 = -5

so x=-3

and y=3/2

thanks again
